Sunset on West Main. West view.
“Sylvia and John and Chris and I walk up the long main street in the gathering dusk and feel the presence of the mountains even though we talk about other things. I feel happy to be here, and still a little sad to be here too. Sometimes it’s a little better to travel than to arrive.“ West Main Street, Laurel, MT. The Hotel where John, Sylvia, Chris and the narrator stayed is one block to the right of East Main Street, shortly after they entered town. “To travel is better to travel than to arrive …. ”is one of the many often repeated phrases in ZMM. It is thus yet another ZMM “master motif”. Our ZMM Travelers arrived after sunset. This gave them enough time to check-in to their hotel, finish supper and be out walking at dusk. Our ZMM travelers apparently had much more enjoyable weather this day of their trip, than the previous several days. As you can tell from my photos for both 2002 and 2006, I had mostly good weather from Plevna, MT to the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park.
